Mommy Knits

Distractions

So I added another couple of strips to the blanket and a few more rows to the hood but I've been really distracted lately by work things.  So what do I do but cast on a little quickie project.  Just what the doctor ordered cute little booties!

            

I got the pattern for these booties from Brynne.  They are very easy and quite addictive.  I changed the pattern just a bit because I wanted them to be mostly garter stitch to match the Baby Albert sweater.  I think that I will have a lot of yarn left over so I may have enough to make another pair to give away.

It was actually sunny and warm yesterday so while I was posing booties on the azaleas I also caught this little guy in my mini rhododendron.

            

I'm hoping that today I can get the hood done on the Baby Albert and then I want to make some headway on the log cabin blankie.

3 WIPs

So I have actually been knitting lately and I have a few new WIPs to share

1.  A Baby Albert in Lorna's Laces DK Swirl.  I am almost done, all it needs it the hood finished and some ends woven in.  A special thank you to our model Bitty Baby.

         

2.  A log Cabin Baby blanket in Cascade Sierra and Needful Yarns Elba.  This has been great TV knitting, just pick up the stitches and knit then bind off and repeat.

         

3.  So all this baby knitting may lead you to wonder what's going on...

         

That's right, number 4 is on her way!  She's due to make her apperance around the end of August or the begining of September they can't seem to agree on a date.   Poor J was really disapointed when we found out it's another girl.  He already thinks there is too much pink around here.  The poor boy he has to share a bathroom with all these girls!

So that's what I've been working on. I also have a new sock going but that doesn't really count.
